Predatoroonops
''Predatoroonops'' is a genus of goblin spiders endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The genus is characterized by the extremely modified male chelicerae and long pairs of ventral spines. It is the first fully revised endemic Brazilian genus of spiders, uncovered in 2012 after two and a half years of research at São Paulo's Instituto Butantan.
The generic name is in honor of the Predator from the eponymous 1987 film, as the researchers found the spiders' chelicerae similar to the creature's unmasked face. All the specific names of the genus reference the film's cast, crew or fictional elements.
==Discovery==
''Predatoroonops'' was first published in the ''Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History'' in June 2012.〔 The genus is composed of seventeen new species. They are unique for the peculiar morphology of the male chelicerae and the lateral anterior borders of the carapace.〔
Members of the genus (all of which are endemic to Brazil) were discovered by a team of Brazilian scientists as part of the Planetary Biodiversity Inventory (PBI) project on the goblin spider family (Oonopidae).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Planetary Biodiversity Inventory: The Spider Family Oonopidae )〕 The team consisted of Alexandre B. Bonaldo, Adalberto J. Santos, Ricardo Ott, and Cristina A. Rheims. It was led by the arachnologist Antonio Domingos Brescovit of Instituto Butantan, who has been studying spiders in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest since 2006. According to Brescovit, the research took two and a half years. It could have been published as early as 2011 if not for the 2010 fire in the Instituto Butantan which destroyed a major part of the institute's specimen collections.〔
